Top 5 Nail Polishes!

Afternoon girlies! I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine! As you know, if you've been following me for a while, I have a rather unhealthy obsession with nail polish. When applied, I instantly feel more polished and put-together and tend to feel self-conscious about my hands without it.
So without further ado, here are my top 5 picks in no particular order:




1. O.P.I's You Don't Know Jacques - a browny, grey, taupe colour. Very sophisticated and grown up! I especially love this in the colder months.












2. Essie's Lilacism - A lovely soft lilac / lavender colour. Love wearing this in the summer but it does need at least 3 coats for a completely opaque finish.










3. Barry M's Mint Green - gorgeous light baby green colour. Also perfect in the summer! Has been said to be a good dupe for a Chanel polish (think it's called Jade Green). Great consistency aswell.









4. Revlon's Get Reddy - the perfect red in my opinion! A mid to deep red shade with subtle shimmer. See my NOTD post on this polish here.










5. Revlon's Tropical Temptation - gorgeous coral. Again, perfect in the summer and looks lovely with a tan! NOTD post here.








Hope you enjoyed that! What are some of your faves? xx

NOTD: Winter Sunshine

Don't get me wrong, I do love the deeper, darker nail shades that come with the winter months but today, as I glanced out of my window and saw the sun peeping through the clouds (for the first time in what felt like an eternity!), I felt it appropriate for some bright talon loving!

So I caressed my nails with Revlon's Tropical Temptation - a gorgeous bright coral colour, bound to add a bit of sunshine to anyone's day!

Thanks for reading!

NOTD: The Perfect Red?

After searching high and low for that perfect red polish I think I may have finally found it, and the best part is, it was located in none other than the pound shop!! It's by Revlon and the shade is Get Reddy but I have a feeling that it may have been discontinued or be from an old collection for me to get my hands on it at such a minimal fee! It's a beautiful rich red colour with just a hint of shimmer and, as I have been known to sport a sunglasses-worthy colour or two in my time, I feel all grown up when I wear this =).

As far as application goes, I have always been impressed by the Revlon polishes and this particular one is no different. You could happily get away with just one coat, but I like to always add another for good measure.
The Lorraine-esque glitter nail is NYC Long-Wearing Nail Enamel in 101A White Lights Glitter over the top of Get Reddy. Hope you like =).

Thanks for reading.
